[QUOTE="Adam Smith 2, post: 718183, member: 64869"] No, this attempt at analogy is grossly misleading, those situations are not at all analogous. Outside of normal hospital hours, the Emergency Room is usually the only entry point to a hospital for ALL conditions. Going into the ER with a cold is not a misuse of the service, because you will be sent to a nurse (called a triage nurse) whose sole job is to rate the severity of your illness and prioritize appropriately. For example, if the hospital is properly run, sick kids get shoved aside when car accident vicitms come in. People who spend hours waiting for treatment do so because their injury has been deemed non-life-threatening. If you call 911 to have your smoke detector batteries change, you will appropriately end up fined or arrested, the fire department will NOT come and happily change them for you, ignoring a house fire. An argument like this (based on a false and deliberately inflammatory premise) is called a "straw man". [/QUOTE]
